Uuc Big Brake Question?

I have a problem with my brakes... whenever i come to a stop there a slight jerk(making me go forward and back) like the rotors are worn unevenly & the wheel shakes when i brake.... the dealer says that it is the pads... but i don't think they know anything about the system... ANY ADVICE

Try contacting UUC Directly, they can probably help you.

The first couple days I had the UUC brakes on my car last fall, I had a mild shimmy under some braking conditions. After checking rotor runout, I found about .005" total runout in the rotors. After trading e-mail with Rob @ UUC, he guessed my rotors came from an early batch of rotors and hats from the prototyping stage that may not have been checked for trueness. I had a GOOD local parts shop take a very fine cut (~.003" per side) off the rotors and the shimmy went away. I checked the rotors after truing and found .001" or less total runout in both rotors.

The fact that my front control arm bushings were completely shot didn't help. I found out this spring the ball joints in the front control arms were bad so that probably also helped amplify brake shimmy.
